Pickwicks

Taunus hike to the new Hardtbergturm
2024-07-28 10:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Kronberg station, Bahnhofstraße 36, Kronberg im Taunus, 61476
After a long break, Pickwicks is back in the Taunus for another adventure!
The walk will take us from Kronberg station to the Hardtbergturm. As a reward for climbing to the top of the hill, this futuristic new structure offers a beautiful view of the area from its 27 metre high platform. After the descent, the next reward is lunch at La Fattoria in Kronthal. From here it’s an easy 30-minute walk back to Kronberg.
The details:
Meeting point 1:

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
Platform 104 (underground)
09:50, to catch the S4 at 09:59

(As everyone seems to have a pensioner’s ticket or DeutschlandTicket these days, we won’t bother with group tickets any more; please get your own ticket to Kronberg).
Meeting point 2:

Kronberg station
10:20

Trains from Kronberg back to Frankfurt run every 30 minutes; we will try to catch the S-Bahn at 16:08.
The total walking time is 3 hours, with some moderate ups and downs. It’s summer, but the weather is rather unpredictable at the moment, so please bring plenty of water to drink and protection from the rain.
If this sounds interesting, please use the “Sign Up” button below by Wednesday 24 July and indicate where you would like to meet the group!

Bad Homburg: Classical music night in white
2024-07-21 19:00 - 21:30 | Kaiser-Wihelms-Bad, Kaiser-Wilhelms-Bad, Bad Homburg, 61348
As in previous years, the Klassiknacht in Weiß will take place as part of the Bad Homburger Sommer on July 21 from 5:30 p.m.: a concert + picnic at the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Bad, where the dress code is white.
This event is organized in cooperation with the French and the Italian round tables (and possibly others).
To participate, you must purchase (as early as possible, as places are limited) an entry ticket. The price is very moderate: €5.80.
Click here for more information and instructions.
Each participant will bring what they need for the picnic as well as seats (generally a – rather limited – number of benches is available to the participants). It is therefore recommended to arrive before opening time to enter first and reserve these benches.
Please let us know if you are coming so that we can try to reserve a place for our group (each person will have to buy their ticket as soon as possible).
